Question

Which of the following equations is equivalent to 2/3 x - 1/2 y = 6? 2x - y = 6 2x - y = 36 4x - 3y = 36

Answer 1

Answer: THE LAST OPTION

Explanation:

1. You have the following equation given in the problem:

`(2)/(3)x-(1)/(2)y=6`

2. If you multiply both sides of the equation shown above by 6, you obtain the following:

`(2*6)/(3)x-(1*6)/(2)y=6*6`

`(12)/(3)x-(6)/(2)y=36`

3. When you simplify the equation, you obtain the following equivalent equation:

`4x-3y=36`
